You will also need access to a Website to display your trays of flowers. Most Internet Service providers include these in their monthly fees, though they don’t always make it obvious. If not you will have to use a web hosting service, some of which are available for free. See Finding a Website for more on this.

Graphics cards

Kyresoo will run acceptably even on a 1999 era graphics cards such as the TNT2. Though with the low end ATI models, you will need to check the "Disable Transparency" option. See the Troubleshooting page on how to do this. We would like to add to our list of hardware/driver combinations on which Kyresoo will run. As a Beta tester, you can help us do this. Please take a few minutes to record the performance of your computer as described on the System Survey page.

Mac And Linux

The code has not yet been packaged to run on the Mac or under Linux. Since Kyresoo is written in Java it should be quite portable however. See Mac and Linux forum pages for more information on this. The required code and data folder, in zip format, can be found here for the Mac, and here for Linux.
